Description
Topographically the site lays immediately adjacent to Littleborough Road (approximately running on the line of the Roman road from Lincoln to Doncaster), and to the west of the River Trent. The Mother Drain (water channel) running north-south bisects the site, which is currently in agricultural use. The site is bounded by agricultural fencing and comprised of land currently used for largely arable cultivation, with some small paddocks along the southern side of the modern road.
The earth-resistance survey was undertaken by a two-person team using a Geoscan Research RM15 Resistance meter and MPX15 multiplexer module in parallel twin-probe configuration. Readings were taken at 1m intervals along traverses of 1m spacing walking west.
The geophysical grids of 30m by 30m were set out using a Leica GS15 RTK GPS system.
A group of features appear to suggest the possible presence of enclosures akin to those seen elsewhere in the geomagnetic survey.
Another group of features appear to suggest the possible presence of some form of land divisionsm or possible water management system.
A further group of features appear to suggest the possible presence of features associated with the line of the Roman road.
